Be it known that lViLLnmi Cfiiirniirnii, the wheel F, therefore an oscillating motion 55 deceased, late of Metamora, in the county of imparted to the rockshaft B, and fan A, lifoodford and State of Illinois, did invent and a pleasant and agreeable current of air a new and improved Automatic Fan and is created until the motion of the wheel is Fly-Chaser; and l, Sori-ini Gxnrinvriin, of stopped, and if the case is placed on a table Flushing, in the county of Queens and State or desk or before a bed, the person sitting 60 of New York, adininistratrix of WILLIAM at such table or desk, or lying on the bed CARPENTER aforesaid, do hereby declare that will receive the benefit of the fan without the following is a full, clear, and exact demoving his or her hands. rlhe wheel F, scriptioii of the said invention of lViLLiAM may also be used for the purpose of giving CARPENTER, reference being had to the acmotion to the fly chaser G. In this case the 65 coinpanying drawings, forming part of this arm C, with the fan A, is removed and a specification, in whichrod e, is inserted into a hole in the circumvFigure l represents a side elevation of the ference of the wheel.

Chaser may be made to revolve over the The fan A, which is made of feathers, or head of the said person to keep away the of any suitable material is secured to rockflies and mosquitoes, C shaft B, that has its bearings in the forked The rod e, to which the flyA chaser is atend of an arm C. This arm is firmly intached is made to extend so that its length 45 sei-ted into a` loop or staple D, on the top of can be adjusted at pleasure, and the link g, the case E, which contains the clock movewhich forms the fulcruin of the center pin ment, through which motion is imparted to of the fly-Chaser is so arranged that it can be the wheel F. This wheel is secured to a turned up and down, and that by its aid vertical arbor a, which extends through the the fly-Chaser can beadjusted higher or 50 top of the case, and one of the arms of said lower at pleasure. This arrangement is dewheel is provided with an eccentric socket sirable if the fiy-chaser is to'be used on a i or wrist b, that connects by means of a rod table so that it can be set according to the c, with a short lever cl, connected to the rocki height of the dishes, fruit baskets cans and other 'articles from which it is desirable to chase away the flies. The form and con-V struction of the fly-Chaser as Well as that of the fan may of course be changed and an ordinaryy pin Wheel made of paper may be used instead of the Winged fan j. A feather Z, inserted into a socket in the rod e, serves to regulate the speed of the fly-Chaser.

This device is very simple in its' construction and its parts are so arranged that they do not get easily` out of order. The case E, forms a perfect protection to the clock movement. so that the same cannot be tampered With by inexperienced persons, and the Whole device may be gotten up in a more or less ornamental style to suit the taste and convenience ost' purchasers.

Vhat l claim as the invention of 1WiL- LIAM CARPENTER aforesaid, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

l. The arrangement of the rockshaft B, in combination with the Jfan A, connecting rod c, and revolving Wheel F, constructe and operating in the manner and for the purpose shown and described.

2. The arrangement of the adjustable link g, and extension rod e, in Combination with the revolving fan j, constructed and operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
